Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

On an interim basis, the Company estimates what its anticipated annual effective tax rate will be and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the estimated annual rate, plus the tax effect of certain discrete items that arise during the quarter. As the fiscal year progresses, the Company refines its estimates based on actual events and financial results during the quarter. This process can result in significant changes to the Company’s estimated effective tax rate. When this occurs, the income tax provision is adjusted during the quarter in which the estimates are refined so that the year-to-date provision reflects the estimated annual effective tax rate. These changes, along with adjustments to the Company’s deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, may create fluctuations in the overall effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was 35.2% and 29.8%, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to non deductible expenses, state income taxes and income from flow-through entities.

If recognized, $1 million of the unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2025, would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the period ended March 31, 2025. the Company had recognized $40,000 of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on its consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as state income tax in certain U.S. states. The Company and its subsidiaries’ state and federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024, respectively.
